I had my 2nd resection 2 weeks ago today. Things are totally different from the 1st time. They went in to remove the radiation nercosis (sp) and found more cancer,they removed it and added 8 glio wafers. Put me on decadron whuch caused me steroid psychosis. I never have felt so horrible in my life. They lowered the steroids but I am so mentally different. Evrything done at slower speed, thoughts are slower hard time keeping up with conversations. Is this something that happends after each surgery? I just want this fog lifted so I feel like me again. I go and see my surgeon tomorrow and I hope you has some answers as to why I am like this and is this now "me"? I almost feel like I am on the edge of mental retardation |
